Michael Mueller

Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Princeton University

Michael E. Mueller is an Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University, the Director of the Graduate Certificate in Computational Science and Engineering, an associated faculty member in the Princeton Institute for Computational Science and Engineering, and an associated faculty member in the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment. Since 2020, he is also jointly appointed as a Faculty Researcher at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. He received a BS degree in mechanical engineering from The University of Texas at Austin in 2007, a MS degree in mechanical engineering from Stanford University in 2009, and a PhD degree in mechanical engineering from Stanford University in 2012 before moving to Princeton in 2012. His research interests encompass computational modeling of multi-physics turbulent reacting flows with applications to energy and propulsion, principally combustion with emerging thrusts in offshore wind and fusion, as well as broader areas of computational and data sciences including uncertainty quantification, numerical algorithms, and data-based modeling and algorithms. He has been recognized through the Young Investigator Program of the Army Research Office and with a Research Excellence Award from The Combustion Institute. He currently serves as Associate Editor of the Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power and, beginning in 2021, will serve on the Editorial Board of Combustion and Flame.
